Clockwork — AI powered bot to track action items within Slack

Congrats on the launch @ravi_dasika @salim_dewani @jatin_hariani1 @neha_gehani

Today, with the rapid rise of remote and hybrid work, we see companies rely more than ever on internal messaging tools such as Slack to get work done. Everything from announcements, discussions, alerts, requests, bug reports and memes flow through Slack. Slack has become our new virtual office space. Amidst all these messages and notifications, useful information and actionable requests are frequently lost or forgotten. This leads to delays, frustrations and misunderstandings. Me and Ravi felt this problem acutely at our previous organizations which relied heavily on Slack to get things done. So we built Clockwork to help you stay on top of all the stuff going on within your various Slack channels. With Clockwork, you can easily convert messages into action items with assignees, due dates and comments. Our AI powered bot goes one step further - it automatically detects potential actions items amidst your stream of Slack messages so nothing slips through the cracks. We also allow you to seamlessly pin and tag useful Slack messages such as ideas, links, feedback for future reference. We are focused on tracking actions with Clockwork today. In future, we plan to build out a whole suite of Slack productivity tools to automate end to end workflows and run efficient meetings. Our vision is to ultimately be an AI powered bot that lives within your Slack workspace and helps you get work done more efficiently. Clockwork is free to use right now. Please share feedback, questions and comments.

With remote and hybrid work taking off, Slack has become exponentially annoying. Everything from birthday wishes to an urgent message from the CEO, all go through Slack. Clockwork helps you manage your Slack better and in the process makes it significantly less annoying. Someone gave you a a small task? - update a deck, share some document or data, let them know when something is done etc.etc., or you gave one to someone? Most of these end up out of sight, out of mind? Clockwork Actions lets you turn these small tasks into actions and stores them within Slack. You get daily reminders that help you stay on top of all the things you need to do and the thing that you've asked others to do. Level up with Clockwork AI. Add Clockwork to any channel and it'll automatically detect anything that looks like an action and automatically prompts you to turn it into one. Colleagues keep sharing links that you don't have time to get to immediately? - a new competitor just launched, a feature that looks interesting, feedback from a customer that you intend to get to later etc. etc. With Clockwork Pins you can tag and store them away. When you are working on the new version of say the payments feature, just go to Clockwork Pins filter on 'new ideas' and 'payments', and you have all those things that anyone ever shared with you right within Slack. Give Clockwork a spin and let us know how we can make it 10x better!

With remote work becoming more accepted, it hasn't taken the noise on Slack to increase. Clockwork makes it easier to keep a track of the important tasks assigned to you within Slack. With its AI-powered intent recognition, Clockwork will identify and flag important messages for you so you can create actionable items to follow up on at a later time. Clockwork was designed to help you organize your day better, reduce the clutter and increase your overall productivity.

As more companies embrace a remote/hybrid work culture, there is an increased dependence on tools like Slack to co-ordinate between team members, leading to a pretty cluttered Slack workspace. Clockwork helps you convert messages into actions, assign them to your fellow team members, block time for actions in your calendar, and keep track of all your actions on your Clockwork home page. Our AI powered bot takes this one step further, flagging potential actions within your conversations, helping you stay on top of things. Clockwork also enables you to pin and tag messages to your workspace. Stash away any messages that don't need your immediate attention but you would want to get back to later. We’re here to take feedback and listen to what features you would like to see on Clockwork. Please check it out and help us improve our newly-launched product!

Amazing! Getting work done, like clockwork! :)

Congratulations on the launch team! Product looks solid and in much current need.

This looks really interesting. Slack notifications quickly become a headache to handle. Great that there is tooling bringing some order in the chaos! Really promising!

There is a legit problem of action items over Slack going missing and untracked. Love this idea of Clockwork. Will try this out, adding it right away :) Congratulations on the launch @salim_dewani @ravi_dasika @jatin_hariani1 @neha_gehani

This can solve a big pain point- congratulations on the launch! My current company does not use slack but an internal messaging tool. We still have the same problem and wondering when we can use your product there!

Congrats on the launch - love the convert Todo to a calendar block feature!

Congrats Salim!

Looks great. Slack still really early and it's a great time for tools like this to make things more structured. Congrats on the launch!

I love workflow automation. The less time I have to spend switching apps, context, and tracking down things, and other busy work, the more I can focus on what really makes a difference. Excited to try this!
